Question 3: The Assessing officer in the decided case (GE Energy Parts Inc vs.
ADIT, ITAT Delhi) examined the taxability of income of GE Overseas under the
Act as well as the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement. He did not accept the
contention of the assessee that the sale consideration was not taxable in India as the
title in respect of the equipment’s was transferred outside India and the payments
were also received outside India. He held that a lot of activities relating to
marketing and sales took place in India. Further, the negotiations of prices also
took place in India. These facts, in the opinion of the AO, were clear indicators of
the GE India securing orders for GE Overseas. He further found that GE Overseas,
by remotely sitting in foreign countries, could not make any sales, without the
active involvement of GE India. This was held to be a business connection of GE
Overseas in India in terms of section 9 of the Act. The AO, therefore, held that all
the profits did not accrue or arise to the assessee in the foreign soil, but part of such
profits arising in India, corresponding to the activities carried out in India, was
chargeable to tax under the Act. Such income accruing or arising was held to be
liable to tax as per the provisions of section 5(2) of the Act. Simply put, the AO
has made out a case that the GE overseas entities were having business connection
under the Act as well as permanent establishment under the DTAA in India in all
the years under consideration. (link: http://itatonline.org/archives/ge-energy-parts-

Last MBA Question with Short Ans
Q1. Assume that ABC Ltd has equity share capital of 15,00,000 divided into shares of
Rs. 150 each. What will happen to EPS if entire capital was raised through debts?
Answer:
INTRODUCTION
A corporation's profit when divided by the remaining shares of its common stock is
called Earning per Share (EPS). The resulting number is known as an indicator of a
company's profitability. EPS has to be reported by the company that is adjusted for
extraordinary items and potential share dilution. If the EPS of a company's is
higher, the company is considered more profitable.
Q2. Alpha Ltd is expecting an annual Earnings Before Interest and Tax of 1,50,000.
..What happens to the value of the firm when more debentures are issued?
Answer:
INTRODUCTION
The net income approach, net operating income approach, and traditional approach
are 3 theoretical outlines for how an organization should set its debt-equity mix.
All three examines how an organization's cost of capital changes with the debt-
equity mix and hunt for the lowest worth of the cost of capital, hence the maximum
value of the firm, to identify the best mix. They reach at different conclusions as
they make different assumptions about creditors' and investors' reactions to
increasing debt. The net income approach makes the simplest assumptions, that
neither creditors nor investors increase their required rates of return as an
organization takes on debt. The cost of capital drops as higher-cost equity is
replaced with lower-cost debt. This approach settles that the optimal financing mix
is all debt.
Q3. Mr. Mehta works as a Management Consultant in XYZ Ltd. Net Present Value of
the project and suggest whether project is to be accepted or not
Answer:
INTRODUCTION
In finance, the net present value (NPV) or net present worth (NPW) appears to a
sequence of cash flows taking place at different times. The present value of a cash
flow is dependent upon the interval of time between now and the cash flow. It is
also dependent upon the discount rate. NPV accounts for the time value of money.
It provides a way for evaluating and comparing capital projects or financial
products with cash flows spread over time such as loans, investments, payouts
from insurance contracts and several different applications.

3. Read the passage and answer the questions mentioned below the passage.
Coronavirus has put a spotlight on the economic decoupling of China and some
developed countries. With factories shuttered and consumption stalled,
multinational companies have been forced to shift production elsewhere. Apple has
warned investors that its revenues will take a hit as a result of the outbreak. A
gradual decoupling of global economies has been under way for a few years. The
South Korean electronics group Samsung, for example, has been closing Chinese
plants and opening others in Vietnam. Mexico has benefited from some US
corporations moving their supply chains closer to home. But decoupling will
undoubtedly speed up as Beijing’s opacity in handling the coronavirus epidemic
highlights the risks of doing business in China.
There are marked similarities between the virus and decoupling itself. There is
what you see on the surface (masks and panic or supply chain shifts and profit
warnings) and then there is what you can’t know: how many victims the outbreak
will claim or what the world will look like economically and politically in five to
10 years, as globalization dissolves and divides deepen.
Still, it is the job of a columnist to go out on a limb, so let me make a few

predictions about what may lurk around the corner if the decoupling continues. An
increased risk of violence in Taiwan, the inability of Europe to defend its own
liberal democratic values, and a world in which smart devices can no longer speak
to each other across borders are distinct possibilities. And all of these things could
fundamentally reshape the global economy and geopolitics. The most pressing
issue in the short term is Taiwan, whose firms make most of the world’s
semiconductors. The majority are produced by Taiwan Semiconductor
Manufacturing Company, a contract chipmaker that supplies US.
companies, including Apple, and a number of Chinese firms. Semiconductors are a

key area in which the Chinese are not yet technologically self-sufficient. In
hardware (from routers to switches to handsets), areas of software and high-tech
services, the Chinese have already largely decoupled from the US. Consider the
success of homegrown firms such as the smartphone maker Xiaomi. Or the
telecoms group Huawei’s efforts to build bespoke Chinese operating systems. Or
the fact that many of the most innovative new mobile apps are developed in China.
But semiconductors require huge amounts of capital investment and research

effort. It could be a decade before China can fully develop its own industry. In the
meantime, it will be dependent on Taiwan, which not only supplies US companies,
but where support for democracy is growing. This begs the question of whether, or
perhaps when, Taiwan’s semiconductor industry might become a political hot
potato, as both China and the US try to build their own independent high-tech
sectors.
It is hard to imagine that Taiwan will be able to operate in both orbits indefinitely.
As one telecoms analyst put it to me recently, “What’s happened in Hong Kong is
fascinating and disturbing in part because it raises the question, what happens if the
same thing occurs in Taiwan?” Imagine a world in which cross-border banking,
online shopping and data sharing becomes bifurcated between two systems. That is
a reality we may be heading towards. Apple and other tech companies would
certainly take a valuation hit in such a future. But so would many others in
industries beyond technology. As with coronavirus, the effects of decoupling will
be both unpredictable and exponential.

1. Surya Enterprises is in the business of setting up Solar Power plants, which

converts energy from the sun into electricity using Solar Panels. This is a young
company that has been in existence for 4 years and has a seen rapid growth from
being a 25 people start-up to a 1000 people strong company. The company’s
founders have laid a special emphasis on sustainable and ethical business practices,
(including abiding by labour laws) and due to this, as well as being in green energy
space, the company is well regarded by everyone in the industry. However, this
sector is highly cost sensitive and the company faces stiff competition from other
local vendors who operate on lesser margins by adopting less ethical practices.
Another factor affecting margins, is that 70% of the cost of the project is the cost
of the Solar Panel itself. These panels are imported from China and thus the
profitability is closely linked to the cost at which the panels are procured. With the
Indian government coming down heavily against dumping by Chinese companies,
as well as a surge in demand for panels in China, the cost of solar panels has
increased. The government is encouraging the spread of solar energy based plants
through special schemes to encourage the generation of clean energy. However,
new plants that are coming up, the system of allocation is through open bidding
and goes to the lowest tariff offered, and the tariff has been going down steeply.
This has further impacted the profitability of these ventures. On the positive side,
technology is changing rapidly and discovery of cheaper and better materials is
making the panels smaller and cheaper.
Given the above scenario, the company is now planning to evaluate whether the
business is sustainable or not. Surya enterprises has hired you to do an
organisational analysis using the PESTLE method
Q. Define the elements of PESTLE and using the information given in the case
above, wherever possible list out the various aspects of the PESTLE relevant to the
case.

3. Funky TV is a music television channel that is very popular amongst

but due to high content costs and other expenses, it is not very profitable.
The channel is successful because of the new formats and interesting ideas it
keeps introducing regularly on air. The employees are mostly in the age
group of 22-30. There are a few other employees from older age groups as
well. The company prides itself on being a Crazy and Cool workplace. Each
employee at the time of joining is given decorating material and lots of
colorful paper to help them decorate their workplace. This is an open office
layout. All employees including the senior management sit in the same area
and there are small meeting rooms for people who wish to have a quiet
conversation.
Every evening at 6 pm, one employee is randomly selected by draw of lots and
gets to choose a playlist to play on the public address system. There is no dress
code and employees are inspired to discover their individual style. The employees
are encouraged to speak their mind, share their ideas and disagreements are
considered healthy. Managers avoid taking unilateral decisions and prefer to have a
consensus-based approach. The culture is also such that it attracts talented people
from across all walks of life. The current channel programming in charge was a
professor of physics before he joined the channel. Though the company faces stiff
competition in the music television space and is not the best paymaster, it still has
low levels of attrition.

firm has been largest seller of milk in NCR , with 65% of the revenue being
contributed by milk. Amul entered Delhi market few years back and in 2011 with
in a span on 4years it defeated mother dairy in terms of market share. Amul
procures fresh milk and packages it. Mother dairy adds powder milk in its products
to the tune of 40%. This spoils the taste of the product. Also Amul is credited with
more awareness and knowledge about its products amongst consumers. Amul is a
leader in the ice cream segment of the country. Their capacity to develop products
and gain market leadership helped them gain substantial share in the NCR region
in the milk segment raising question marks on the brand equity of the company.
Mother Dairy has been market leader in NCR for 35 years. Losing ground to Amul
in 2011 in the milk segment is forcing company to rethink its strategy. They plan
to increase their capacity and also expand procurement of the milk. One of the
regions why Consumer shifted to Amul has been difference in the taste of the milk.
Amul milk is fresh where as a portion of Mother dairy milk is reconstituted.
Mother dairy sells through its own outlets and home delivery is not possible where
as Amul used channel and home delivery of the milk is possible. Mother dairy milk
price has been less than the price of Amul milk, still a huge number of mother

Q1. An entire generation of Indian TV viewers grew up on some terrifying

advertising. Cease Fire commercials had conflagrations breaking out in urban
settings as householders went about, oblivious. And then there was the ad for
Saffola, full of ambulance lights and sirens, panic-stricken faces and heart rate
monitors. The brand called itself ‘Life Insurance’, positioning the oil as a bulwark
against heart disease.
And the strategy worked with Saffola being among the first brands to talk about
health — albeit in a very panic inducing manner.
The longevity of the `1000 crore plus brand can be traced to that strong
positioning. Chief marketing officer, Anuradha Aggarwal says: “Very early in the
journey, we found an amazing, unique place of heart health. Someone with fore-
sight chose to do fear oriented ads and the rest, as they say, is history.” But only a
small chunk of history. Over the years, Saffola realised merely scaring consumers
into buying was perhaps not the best strategy. From fear it moved to convincing at
risk consumers to adopt better, healthier practices. Aggarwal says, “We moved
from pure fear to things that strike fear: the signs of the unhealthy heart.”
The brand also acknowledged the difficulty in getting people adopting a healthier
lifestyle with its ‘Kal Se’ commercial about a serial procrastinator, who’d rather let
his kid ride the exercise cycle, or who changes into gym clothes only to fall asleep
again. However, consumers and the category were moving a lot faster than the
brand. Even as Saffola pitched itself to consumers showing the first signs of
slowing down, the broad trend was preventive: not allowing one or one’s family
members to get to that stage in the first place. Says Aggarwal, “We realised Saffola
was in danger of becoming the oil for the unhealthy as opposed to the oil for
people who want to be healthy and have an active, fit heart.” The brand is now
about a continuous investment in health.
A strategy that’s driven its expansion into adjacent categories. Saffola has the
credibility required for consumers to comfort- ably place its products on the dining
table. Besides, through variants like flavoured oats — a category that Saffola
claims leadership in — the brand can comfort- ably ride the everyday health wave.
Saffola is gunning for ` 200 crores in this space by 2018, according to its 2015-16
annual report. Says Aggarwal, “We are market leaders in flavoured oats because
we’ve been cracked a fantastic product suitable for the Indian palate.” Saffola
continues to be the undisputed leader in premium health oil, according to
Aggarwal.
Even at a time when the affluent Indian’s obsession with health is leading to them
buy super premium olive oils at two or three times the price. The brand is meeting
the challenge with new blends like Aura a combination of olive and flaxseed oil.
On the communication front, Saffola has moved past its scare mongering on TV. It
runs its own website fitfoodie which has healthy recipes of traditional favourites
ratified by nutritionists and dieticians.
Under Saffolalife, an initiative begun in 2005, the brand pro- motes healthy
lifestyles and organises heart health checks. When asked how malleable the brand
is, Aggrawal believes, “We’ve succeeded when there was a fit and coherence and a
fundamental difference from the rest of the world. We are strongly positioned on
proactive and preventive heart health, and these conditions have to be met.” It
also explains why variants like finger food brand Zest failed. Says Aggarwal, “We
needed a go to market that understood impulse purchases and the product was not
as good. After that, we’ve made sure we have very hard internal guidelines for
product development. Unless we meet those standards, the products don’t go out.”
Saffola’s brand journey finds favour with an Indian marketer with considerable
retail and FMCG experience, who wishes to remain anonymous.
He says, “Given there was no awareness of health, Saffola used fear and people
bought it. But now with the entire country having a consciousness of health and
gym culture coming in, it’s the right transition.” He believes the expansions make
sense given Marico’s two flagships: Parachute and Saffola earn their spurs in
categories where growth potential is limited. And so, it’s necessary for Parachute
to extend into skin and body care and Saffola to take on a more overarching health
platform. He believes, “20 or 30 years ago, people worried about health only once
they discovered they had problems. Today, everyone is conscious of being healthy
and wanting to look young.” He however believes Saffola needs to make a stronger
play for the millennial demographic: “It’s seen as mama papa brand. But the 30
year and younger demographic are willing to pay premium. Brands need to change
with the world. Can it be health for youngsters or does it want to be an older
consumer’s health brand is an answer only Saffola can give.

Evaluate the positioning of Saffola and discuss how the positioning strategy has

Q2. Bollywood star Salman Khan is returning to the cola space after a gap of three
years, this time to endorse brand Pepsi, a move that has surprised a few experts.
The two-year deal is estimated at Rs 15 crore, two external industry officials said.
A PepsiCo spokesperson confirmed the signing up of Khan as new brand

ambassador of Pepsi but declined to confirm the financials of the deal.
“The year 2020 will see brand Pepsi create a scale 360-degree campaign that will
reflect the self-confidence of today's youth as effortless as Salman,” the person
said.
Brand Pepsi will base its summer 2020 campaign on Khan’s upcoming action
comedy movie Dabangg 3, the spokesperson said. A few marketing experts
expressed surprise at the PepsiCo move, considering Khan’s macho image vis-à-
vis Pepsi’s more romantic, playful image, plus the actor’s age and some
controversies he has been associated with.
To amplify these efforts, Pepsi released the Har ghoont mein swag “anthem”
featuring Patani, Shroff and rapper Badshah. Released by T-Series the song is
available for streaming on YouTube, Gaana, Jio Saavn, Hungama, Amazon Prime
Music, Spotify, Wynk, iTunes and Apple Music. With music and dance covered,
next up was cricket. PepsiCo which has an on-going partnership with the Board of
Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) leveraged its sport association during India
versus Australia series in February. There the swag symbol took center stage in
stadiums and on TV screens. Says Bhagat, “This allowed us to bring music and
cricket together as one popular music performer announced the ‘Swagster of the
match’, after each match, during the India-Australia series. For a ‘culture brand’, it
is important to dive into all these three streams.”
Hooked or not?
“Even as the cola companies are trying to move towards water and juices, the
healthier drinks, the two companies cannot give up on their mainstay brands just
yet, that is, the colas,” says Sunil Alagh, founder and chairman, SKA Advisors, a
consultancy firm. Alagh believes the use of social media allows these companies to
keep chatter alive around their main brands.
Industry watchers believe this campaign has helped Pepsi get its “mojo” back. Says
brand consultant Harish Bijoor, “Pepsi has reclaimed its position among the youth.
Through the campaign Pepsi can be seen talking to millennials in their language.”
Former marketing director, PepsiCo India, Vani Gupta Dandia agrees. “Using
TikTok and music streaming apps to release the anthem is a good way to extend
the campaign. This allowed Pepsi to rebuild its brand equity,” says Dandia.
While the brand’s old tagline ‘Yeh dil maange more’ might be tweaked to ‘Yeh dil
maange more swag’, what remains to be seen is how Pepsi’s newfound swagger
converts to sales.
The Endgame For categories like beverages, and particularly colas, distribution is
the make-or-break game. Under the company’s ‘Away from home’ strategy, the
beverage maker has tied-up with quick service restaurants Domino’s, KFC, Pizza
Hut, Burger King and Subway and multiplex operator PVR. Says PepsiCo’s Tarun
Bhagat, “An aggressive agenda has been drawn by the team to increase distribution
across offline stores and online channels over the next five years.”
Swag Not War Cola marketing has come a long way from the days of the
legendary Cola Wars. Pepsi’s ‘Nothing Official About It’ that took the fizz out of
the official sponsor of the 1996 Cricket World Cup is perhaps one of the greatest
examples of ambush marketing. Pepsi’s current campaign couldn’t be farther from
that traditional tactic. Says Lloyd Mathias, former head of PC marketing, HP Asia
Pacific and Japan, “Cola as a category has lost its relevance among consumers, as
electronics, apparels took over.” He adds, “As a result, ‘cola war’ as a marketing
concept became redundant.”

Q3. Hair oil and edible oil maker Marico will enter the Rs 4,500-crore skincare
market in the country by extending its two-decade-old coconut hair oil brand,
Parachute, to body lotion and other skincare products, a person directly involved
with the development said.
First off the block will be a body lotion at entry-level pricing to compete in the
mass segment, the person said on condition of anonymity. The company has
carried out a lowkey test exercise in the east, The strategy is aimed at reducing
dependence on Parachute hair oil,” the person said. “In this case, the company
hopes to ride on Parachute’s purity and value-for-money attributes.” Marico CEO
(consumer products business) Saugata Gupta declined comment.
The company will enter the cluttered skincare market under the Parachute
Advansed umbrella and compete with Hindustan Unilever’s Vaseline and Pond’s,
German company Beiersdorf ’s Nivea, L’Oreal’s Garnier and Johnson & Johnson’s
Neutrogena. Analysts and industry watchers say the success of the move will
depend on how much marketing and distribution muscle Marico can infuse in the
brand.
“Success of brand extensions are generally linked closely to the parent brand’s
attributes; and depends on how closely these are aligned to the consumer’s
perception of the brand,” says consulting firm AT Kearney Partner and VP
Debashish Mukherjee.
The success of extensions of strong brands is not always certain. Cereal maker
Kellogg’s extension to biscuits flopped.
Marico hasn’t had much success with brand extensions
But Reckitt Benckiser’s Dettol is a classic succession of an antiseptic medicinal

liquid to antiseptic soap. Marico so far has had limited success with brand
extensions.
Also, there is strong competition in the skincare market, although with an annual
rate of 20% it’s one of the fastest-growing consumer product categories.
About six years ago, Marico had extended Parachute to shampoos, positioned on
the ‘naturals’ platform. But that did not succeed. But Parachute Advansed has
various haircare variants like styling products and after-shower gels.
Marico has a skincare presence with its Kaya skincare clinics. But it does not have
a presence in the packaged skincare segment. Marico’s hair oil brands include
category leader Parachute and Nihar, which it had acquired in 2006 for close to Rs
220 crore. (Source:https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/cons-

with the organization you have been tasked with implementing information
security and assessment process within organization. Please enumerate the process
you are going to follow to offer robust information security to both the users and
management. 2. Staving off critical threats in the current cyber security landscape
is a tall order for organizations of any size. When a security breach happens,
questions will be raised: Did the shortage of skilled cyber security personnel play a
part? Was it down to pure negligence? It would be impossible to say for sure.
However, what we do know is that a general lack of capabilities in detection and
response is putting organizations across the globe at risk. This can show up in an
organization not being able to detect malicious activities fast enough, thereby
allowing threat actors to incur significant damage, or not having enough granular
information to stamp out such activities from its environment. What are the steps
or techniques that an assessor should adopt to ensure successful implementation
while formulating a report on the information security assessment process? 3. As

its network so that its network is protected towards malicious attacks. As an IT
head for the university. Please suggest: a. An integrated access control framework
for the university so that the access to system, physical and virtual resources can be
controlled. b. A monitoring framework for the university so that its network is
monitored and its knowledge assets and Intellectual property sensitive information

Managing Business Process Outsourcing

Q1. With the help of an example explain the lifecycle methodology for Business
Process Outsourcing.
Q2. With the help of an organization that outsource it business processes, explain
the benefits of Business Process Outsourcing and what are some of the
risk/challenges faced in Business Process Outsourcing?
Q3. The rise of what is known as business-process outsourcing (BPO) in the
Philippines has been nothing short of phenomenal. The very first calls were taken
in 1997; today the sector employs 638,000 people and enjoys revenues of $11
billion, about 5% of the country's GDP. Last year the Philippines even overtook
India, long the biggest call-center operator in the world, in “voice-related services”.
The country now employs about 400,000 people at call centers, India only
350,000. The main reason for the success of the Philippine call centres is that
workers speak English with a neutral accent and are familiar with American idioms
—which is exactly what their American customers want. Of these, many have
taken to complaining bitterly about Indian accents (which no amount of “voice
neutralization” coaching seems to have overcome). As a result, the Indian firms
themselves have been helping to move jobs to the Philippines by setting up call
centres in Manila and other parts of the country. Infosys and Wipro, as well as
scores of other Indian firms, now have substantial operations there. And they aren't
drawn to Manila by cheap labour. Wages in the Philippines are slightly higher than
in India since the Filipino accent commands a premium. It also helps that the
country has a big pool of well-educated workers. The million or so Filipinos who
graduate every year have few other options to choose from, besides emigrating.
And working in a call centre is considered a middle-class job (new recruits start at
$470 a month). The big question is whether the Philippine BPO industry, having
conquered the call-center market, can now move up the value chain. To keep
growing rapidly—and profitably—it needs to capture some of the more
sophisticated back-office jobs, such as those processing insurance claims and
conducting due diligence. In these businesses, called knowledge-process
outsourcing and legal-process outsourcing, India still rules supreme. (Source: The
Economist: http://www.economist.com/node/21557350) Based on the article,
answer the following questions:
1. Compare and contrast the BPO industry in India as well as the Philippines
and summarize the findings in terms of future of BPO in both the countries.
(5 Marks)
2. Looking at the scenario, it’s clear that other countries like China and
Philippines have great potential to beat India in the BPO industry. What can
India do to maintain its leadership for the same? (5 Marks)

Q1. Urban performance currently depends not only on a city's endowment of hard
infrastructure (physical capital), but also, and increasingly so, on the availability
and quality of knowledge communication and social infrastructure (human and
social capital). The latter form of capital is decisive for urban competitiveness.
Against this background, the concept of the “smart city” has recently been
introduced as a strategic device to encompass modern urban production factors in a
common framework and, in particular, to highlight the importance of Information
and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in the last 20 years for enhancing the
competitive profile of a city. The demand for smart cities has increased in recent
years. In order to meet the demand of a smart city project in a country like India,
with the help of any smart city project in India explain what are some of the key
elements for such smart cities and also mention their importance. (10 Marks)

Q3. Augmented Reality (AR) is an emerging form of experience in which the Real
World (RW) is enhanced by computer-generated content tied to specific locations
and/or activities. Over the last several years, AR applications have become
portable and widely available on mobile devices. AR is becoming visible in our
audio-visual media (e.g., news, entertainment, sports) and is beginning to enter
other aspects of our lives (e.g., e-commerce, travel, and marketing, education) in
tangible and exciting ways. Facilitating ubiquitous learning, AR will give learners
instant access to location specific information compiled and provided by numerous
sources. Educators around the globe today have realized that AR/VR are big
breakthroughs when it comes to learning — for a method as well as outcomes. AR
has great potential in democratizing the educational process and making it a
personalized learning experience for learners of all stripes. Simply put, augmented
reality or AR is a multi-sensory interactive experience that involves real-world
elements in a virtual environment. It is known to offer perceptually-enriched
experiences to users by using real-world elements and adding a layer of
information or visual aid on top of it in a natural manner. The most common
examples of AR technology is seen in animated emojis these days on smartphones
such as Apple iPhones, Samsung Galaxy series and more. In the industrial context,
AR applications can help with on-the-go learning for maintenance and
troubleshooting, systems maintenance work and other computer-aided learning and
training. The primary reasons why AR is believed to be the future of learning and
education include better learning retention, personalised learning experiences,
increased possibilities of experimentation, reduced reliance on learning by rote,
empowering educators and learners, encouraging active learning. Classrooms in
the future will not look like they do today. AR will see a prominent push in the
next 3 to 5 years in India, and most schools will have dedicated tools. Higher
education will see faster adoption for AR tools, given that the technology is
already present in such institutions. (Source: https://inc42.com/features/what-is-

Q2. Digital music is gaining firmer ground in India. 56 percent of digital music
revenue in Asia comes from music streaming. Players like Gaana, Hungama,
Saavn, Wynk etc. offer users to stream music online and save songs offline with a
premium subscription. They have grabbed a significant share of the audience who
have given up the traditional methods of downloading music to streaming it online.
Advertisers and telecom providers have also joined the bandwagon. The primary
reasons for this growing popularity can be attributed to the rise in the number of
digital natives, improved internet connectivity, more localized curated song lists,
personalization of content, competitive pricing, huge library, availability across
different platforms, simple user interface and sharing digital music with others
across social platforms. How can the music industry use analytics to predict future
hits, describe current trends and recommend best offerings for customers?
NMIMS Question Based on Case Study
Q3. Retailers use analytics in a variety of ways. Specialty retailers use video
analytics to study customer paths and behavior, helping them to design more
effective store layouts. Big Box retailers invest in Wi-Fi networking and new
mobile way-finding apps to help customers navigate through large stores or malls,
getting them to desired products faster. Resorts and hotels are investing in mobile
analytics to gather shopper information from their retail spaces. Mall operators are
using the network to track social media and shopping patterns, and delivering this
value-add information to tenants. Grocery and fast-moving goods retailers are
utilizing video analytics for traffic and conversion analysis, and then using the
same information to integrate workforce management and re-align staffing based
on traffic trends. Specialty retailers are using social sentiment analytics to improve
“voice of the customer” feedback to assess overall brand status and the launch of
new products, services, or offers. Retailers can use analytics tools to measure
traffic, wait times, and queue lengths, proactively anticipating resource demands
across the store.
Example
For example, front-end staffing demand in grocery can be anticipated using a

combination of real-time traffic counting, trip time data, and data on staff on hand.
Resources are thus dynamically allocated based on real-time information,
improving productivity of labor hours and improving customer satisfaction.
Through presence and location-based mobility analytics, retailers pinpoint the
location of opt-in shoppers when they are close to a store location. With
personalized reminders or discount offers sent directly to their smartphones,
consumers are more motivated to visit the store if they are nearby. Combining
social and mobile analytics with loyalty information, retailers can create
personalized, more relevant engagements with shoppers. For example, say that a
customer enters the shoe department. Their store history shows that 60% of past
purchases included a coupon. The retailer can improve the chance of another sale
by sending, in real time, a special offer or communicating through Twitter about a
current promotion. Such communications change the customer/store relationship
from transaction-based to more value-based, creating more sustainable brand
loyalty.
